Morning. Trying to lie till 6 but needed the loo so up at 5.40. I’ve never been any good at going back to bed once I’m up.
Like Mo I cannot stay in bed once I waken and now the daylight is coming earlier I waken earlier.
My body has finally rebelled after weeks of reduced, fitful sleep!
I got to sleep at about 05:00 and had my alarm set for 11:15, so that would have given me just over 6 hours.
The alarm seemed to sound after only about 10 minutes, but I double-checked and the time was right - 11:15. I went to swipe 'Dismiss' but must have done 'Snooze' instead - BANG, I went out like a light...
I woke up with a start 20 minutes later, lying in the same position, phone still in hand, alarm sounding again. Time 11:35. I made sure to dismiss the alarm this time before getting up, but - BANG, I went out like a light... AGAIN!!!
I blinked, and realised that I had been asleep again so I checked the time and it was 14:15. Wow, I had just slept for well over 9 hours - it is
years since I did that!
Now what is this strange feeling...? I normally feel awful when I wake up but today:
- No headache
- No confusion
- No panic
- No fuzzy head
- No deep fatigue
- No sense of impending doom!
I think that I have just come down with a sudden and very severe case of
A Good Night's Sleep!
The editing of that programme does not seem to take account of actual geography and often gives entirely the wrong impression. A stranger would not notice but his tour of Mull was a bit weird I remember.
They always do that kind of thing. They choose what they think will look nice on the TV screen.
When
Happy Valley was on the TV (filmed here in the Calder Valley) local viewers enjoyed playing '
Spot The Location'. Someone might come out of a shop in Hebden Bridge, walk round the corner and be in Todmorden market (7 kms away).
On episode 1 of series 4 of
Unforgotten a couple drove down Winnats Pass in the Peak District and ended up in the large town of Buxton rather than the small village of Castleton!
Just going to do a quick Forest Gump then i'll drive to school. Its only 5 miles, but I'm not daft enough to leave a bike locked in a school with 2300 pupils and expect to find it in the condition in which I left it, or even find it at all.
Instead, you come out and find your
car has gone!
